Form, Standings, Stats

We said: Galatasaray 3-1 Besiktas

There may only be two places separating these two sides in the Super Lig table, but the feeling around the clubs is very different. Gala are in flying form, whereas Besiktas are going through a tumultuous period on and off the pitch. The visitors should be boosted by their fans being allowed to attend after a ban on away supporters in Istanbul derbies was lifted ahead of this game, but the prospect of those supporters celebrating victory appears to be bleak. Besiktas have the firepower to be dangerous, but they have also conceded nine goals in eight games so far this season and, against a Galatasaray side on such a good run, that could be the difference.
